So you're hunting Caldari Navy personnel, then? If not, what exactly will you do to not tolerate this?

I'm going to guess that making posts on the IGS is probably the full extent. DEFIANT posts. In my face.

So...

Unless one is willing to kill their opinions don't have value?

I think it important we clarify that.

I think Pieter meant to express that however much value an opinion has, it's going to stay an opinion, unless you're willing to do something other than blow hot air on the IGS.

As if it's not exactly where anyone's mind went. It's exactly what people mean every damn time they start rejecting someone's views on the basis of "not enough murderfucking done to be relevant" and you know it. Pretending otherwise is rather disingenuous.

Relevant to what ?

I mean, take for example, a conflict between, oh I don't know, Lirsautton nationalists and Gallente federalists. Within their sphere, they might be highly relevant.

But in the sphere of say, Amarr religious conflicts, then does it matter what their views might be ?

So you take issue with anyone who has loyalties to the State? Or merely those who haven't already expressed some variation of outrage at this event (all two of them)? If the former, why does your stance even matter beyond a display of nationalistic fervor, since it wouldn't be worth trying to sway your opinion anyways?

Actually, I didn't, I said kill, not murder. A distinction without a difference perhaps, but a distinction none the less.

It seems of late that unless you are able to 'defend', 'display' or 'project power, then you and what you think are considered irrelevant. If we have devolved to might makes right, then fine. I just want us to be clear about it.

Doesn't have to be murderfucking. That's not the only way to make opinion into policy, it's just one of the clearest and most direct ways.

I'm just saying, don't talk about the sandwich you're thinking of making me, make me a damn sandwich. I can appreciate a sandwich and I'll respect a sandwich you make me, no matter how 1/10 that sandwich is. Discussing a sandwich never fed anyone - no matter how many toppings you're promising.

Nah, you know that I don't think that way. If you back a demand with 'or else' though, 'or else' better not mean shiptoasting on the IGS.

If 'won't tolerate' means a strongly worded letter of censure then it means nothing.

My statements were brought to you by empathy and compassion. And not being discriminatory. You directly called a lot of people "low points" for an entire society, comparing them to killing innocents. I'm not a tube child, but I won't tolerate that.

Almost like there's more to this that we're simply not privy to, and that we should wait for more information.

So you don't want war, but you also don't tolerate anyone with loyalties to the State? Were you aiming for a cull or a massacre perhaps? Not technically war.

Gwion Achasse wrote:

Let's assume that there isn't anything else to this story, and that it was actually just enforcement of the borders, the Federation was spying on the State. Many would argue that espionage is that first punch. Do I agree? Not entirely. Would that justify the attack? No. But claiming that this was the first punch is utterly silly. The first punch was thrown a long, long time ago.

Well, yeah. Definitely. Fun is in very short supply these days in both our factions.
